SP2 breaks "ERUNT"

[S Newman]

I'd installed SP2 today, so far works great. However, when I try to backup
the registry using the ERUNT (emergency recovery utility), it stopped half
way, "cannot backup the Security File".

The fix, uninstall ERUNT (ver 1.1A). Download the latest ERUNT version
1.1E (this version even creates a new sub-folder for you each you backup).

By the way, for those wondering what is the version number for SP2:

OS 5.1.2600.2180 (xpsp_sp2_rtm.040803-2158: service pack 2
File or DLL Date: 8-4-2004
Internet Explorer 6.0.2900.2180
Outlook Express 6.00.2900.2180 (xpsp_sp2_rtm.040803-2158)
Windows Media Player 9.00.00.3250
DirectX 4.09.00.0904 (DirectX 9.0)
-------------

Minor correction on grammar, "... creates a new sub-folder for you each
time you make a backup".

Thanks for this. Just installed SP2, but haven't run ERUNT yet, so I won't
be taken by surprise.

It's a great little program, although I haven't been able to get NTREGOPT to
run completely (has trouble and can't optimize one of the files, I forget
which). My workaround for that is to occasionally restore a new backup using
ERDNT, which accomplishes the same thing.

Glad to report that NTREGOPT is working perfectly now with v.1.1e. So thanks
doubly!
